What happens if you hit the spread in a parlay?

If a game in a parlay pushes -- meaning the score lands exactly on the spread or total -- that leg of the parlay is removed, and the rest of it will stand. So a three-team parlay (+600) with two wins and one push will just become a two-team parlay (+260).

Let’s say you’ve laid down a 6-team NFL parlay and it’s down to the last leg, the Panthers -7. But what happens if the Panthers win the game by exactly 7 and the last leg of your parlay is a push (the game landing on the spread or total).

Or what if the game is cancelled all together?

The bet is not graded as a loss. Rather, the leg that pushes is removed from the parlay, lowering the odds. You won’t lose the parlay until one game actually loses. In fact, in any scenario where a leg of a bet in a parlay is a push or the game gets cancelled, that leg will be removed from the parlay. Consider the hypothetical parlay above. Here is how the payouts of a 6-team NFL spread parlay would look with additional pushes. Each leg of the wager has odds of -110. As more legs of the parlay are pushed, the odds of the parlay decrease, but you won’t lose the wager unless a game in the parlay actually loses. There are unique scenarios where a sport’s particular rules can apply, but that isn’t going to impact a parlay wager in a different manner than a single-leg wager. For example, in a rain-shortened MLB game, just like it would be with a straight wager, moneyline bets become action after the fifth inning is completed, whereas runline, over/under and team total bets would need the full game to be played for the bet to have action. Otherwise, it will be a push and standard parlay push rules would apply. The same goes for situations such as a retirement in a tennis match, where it depends on how your sportsbook grades the individual scenario, but the application to the parlay will be the same.

What About Teasers?

The same rules apply for teasers. If a bet pushes on your teased point spread and all the other legs win, it just drops that game out of the teaser. So a $24 to win $20 bet on a 6-point, two-team NFL teaser becomes $24 to win $9 if one leg wins and one pushes.

What About Moneylines?

You don’t have many moneyline pushes in American sports, because most sports have very few ties. But on two-way lines in soccer, some props, and the rare NFL tie, it can definitely happen. Pushes on moneylines in parlays work the same way as spreads — that parlay leg is removed, and the rest stands — assuming that betting the tie wasn’t an option. In soccer, it’s common to bet three-way moneylines, meaning a tie is a loss. The easiest way to know whether or not your moneyline will count as a push is whether or not there was an option to bet a tie. Again, it won’t come up as often in American sports.

Has there ever been a 0 score football game?

Has there ever been a 0-0 tie in the NFL? There have been 73 games in pro football history that ended in a 0-0 tie, according to Pro Football Reference. But it's been nearly 80 years since the last one, meaning there's yet to be a scoreless tie in the Super Bowl era.

Another Thursday, another rough night of football.

Just one week after a downright ugly Indianapolis Colts 12-9 overtime win over the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football, the Washington Commanders' 12-7 victory against the Chicago Bears was an equally tough watch. The Commanders and Bears played over 29 minutes before the first points were scored, with a Washington field goal from Joey Slye right before halftime finally breaking the scoreless tie. The second half was a bit more eventful, as the two teams combined for two touchdowns, highlighted by Justin Fields' 40-yard touchdown pass to Dante Pettis, and 16 points.

Has there ever been a 0-0 tie in the NFL?

There have been 73 games in pro football history that ended in a 0-0 tie, according to Pro Football Reference. But it's been nearly 80 years since the last one, meaning there's yet to be a scoreless tie in the Super Bowl era.

When was the last 0-0 tie in the NFL?

The most recent 0-0 tie came on Nov. 7, 1943, in a game played between the New York Giants and Detroit Lions. The two teams combined for nine first downs and 214 yards at Briggs Stadium in Detroit. The game featured 77 running plays and 16 pass attempts. There was no overtime played, as the NFL wouldn't add the extra period for another three decades.
